Re: SCRIBBLE Animation

I looked at the entire Bruno Mars video. If the above is all you are going to do then it is possible. I don't use MC for things like this but tried #1 in "Marquee". Marquee is a built in titling tool in MC. Using the text tool I selected the minus sign (-) to create those white lines. #2 was done in Shake. It was eaiser to manipulate the white lines (not minus signs) than in Marquee. Long story short, there is at least one way to get "that" look in MC. As for as the other things done in that video, you will become a Marquee expert by the time you pull it off!

Re: SCRIBBLE Animation

1. After drawing the lines, select them with the arrow tool (SHIFT+click to select multiple lines at the same time).

2. In effects mode select the first keyframe.

3. Set the path parameter to 0.

4. Select the last keyframe.

5. Set the path parameter to 100.

The lines should now draw on over the duration of the effect. To get them to draw off:

6. Create a custom shape with the mode drop-down set to erase. The shape should be "behind" the start point of the shapes you drew in step 1. For example, if the lines are moving left to right and you want them to disappear from left to right, draw your erase shape to the left of the lines.

7. Add a keyframe about halfway through the effect.

8. Select the last keyframe.

9. Adjust the size of the shape until it covers the lines, erasing them completely.

Now the lines should draw on as they did before, and starting at the keyframe you added in step 7 they should draw off in a similar manner. If you feather the edges of the shape you drew in step 7, and if the effect is fast enough, you may not notice that this is a bit of a clunky way to accomplish the effect.

I hope that helps.

Perfect as always!! It's true is not easy to get a good result but i think is the only way to get this effect with MC.
Thanx
